Insurance social media – 15 savvy agents & brokers

Over the last year, I have presented social media savvy professionals in accounting, financial planning and real estate. Professionals on insurance social media are showing equal savvy. Here’re 15 social media savvy insurance agents & brokers who’re using blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Youtube to build their brands, retain clients and win prospects. Look at their Facebook Page posts, Linkedin updates, Twitter timeline and Youtube videos to see how they’re creating and curating content and how they’re engaging clients & prospects on social media. Examine their social profiles to see how they are branding themselves across different social media channels.

I think in this day and age it’s a great idea to have a social media presence no matter what your profession is. There are so many people on social media nowadays that chances are you could find business just by showing you are an expert in your field. It could also be a good way to network with people!

Honored Indeed. Glad to be taking old traditional marketing and Overlaying the New Digital marketing era to take us all to the next level.

Thnx again Charlie Downey, President and overall Business – Marketing – Insurance Professional Guy. Just reach out to me when you need anything.

Thanks for the reply. The “unpublish” page box was not selected. I have checked it and unchecked it again. Maybe this will do the trick. I have seen the old placer facebook page and can’t seem to find it to claim. Thanks for your help.

Stephen, I looked up you Facebook page and it remains non-public. One possible reason could be the Page settings under “Age Restriction” (below the ‘unpublish” option). If “Age Restrictions” is set to something other than “Anyone”, that may cause the page to remain non-public. The “old” Placer page appears to be actually a community page that Facebook automatically created for you when your company name was entered into your profile information ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Placer-Insurance-Agency/104177512952046 ) – don’t think you need to worry about it.

With your help and the local Chamber’s help, I have found out that the Facebook page we had was a Place Page. This is why it appeared unpublished. I learned this is very different from a Business Fan Page. Thank you!
We are building an official Fan Page instead of our Place Page.http://www.facebook.com/PlacerInsurance

Stephen, To make your Facebook page public, (i) go to the Page (you need to log into your admin account & select “Use Facebook as Page”); (ii) select the “Edit Page” button on the right, (iii) go to “Manage Permissions”, and (iv) uncheck the “Unpublish Page” option under “Page Visibility”. Once you make your current page public, Google will index your new page and it should show up ahead of the old page. Hope this helps.

Really should check out Craig Wiggins. He has over 2000 fans on his fan page. He started using Facebook a couple of years ago and has coached hundreds of agents all over the country to use social media in their own agencies. Including me! Here is his page:https://www.facebook.com/ingoodhands#!/WigginsAgencies

So honored to have appeared on this list. Thank you. I also want to include my blog address- it was just redesigned and relaunched a few weeks ago- http://insurancegoddess.com . Writing has become my passion, and my goal is always about educating and inspiring others. We have fun too.

Thanks for compiling this list as I now have more people I can connect with. Insurance rocks and so do the many professionals who are changing it up for the better.
